GREENVILLE, N.C. – The Pirates wrap up a three-week homestand Wednesday, welcoming Big South Conference foe Campbell to Greenville for a doubleheader at the ECU Softball Stadium.

In an attempt to avoid frigid temperatures, game one of the twinbill has been moved to a 1 p.m. start with game two beginning 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first contest.

ECU (10-5) split four games at the Purple-Gold Invitational last weekend, defeating Columbia twice before falling in consecutive contests to Massachusetts and Winthrop.

The Pirates are batting .320 as a team with seven players hitting at least .308. Ashleigh Inae paces the offensive efforts with a .452 batting average while Tyler King, who owns an 11-game hitting streak and has reached base safely in all 15 games this season, checks in at .415. Inae boasts a team-best 16 runs scored and King leads the squad in hits (22) and stolen bases (eight). Erin Poepping leads the pitching staff with a 7-3 record, 1.58 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 57.2 innings.
